'Huitzilopochtli 2336' by Ruben David

Part of the City of Seattle Office of Arts and Culture’s 2016 Art Interruptions, Huitzilopochtli 2336 was a multi-media installation showcasing the Rufous hummingbird. The Rufous is a migratory bird that travels thousands of miles annually from Mexico to its summer breeding grounds in the Pacific Northwest. Known as the most fearless and ruthless of all North American hummingbirds, they echo the fierce Mexica (Aztec) god of warfare and sunlight, Huitzilopochtli (wē′tsə-lō-pōch′tlē).
